Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore
This weekend, my Mother-in-Law invited us to a fun indoor garden exhibit. This would leave me away from the kitchen for most of the day, so I thought this would be the perfect time to try out a new Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore recipe I had been working on.
When we arrived home, the house smelled amazing! The girls and I couldn’t wait to try this yummy meal. (What about poor Darryl? Don’t worry. I made a vegetarian version for my hubby using his Morningstar Chikin Strips)

We all really loved this one, and I immediately filed it under Family Favorites. The girls kept referring to this meal as the best spaghetti and meatballs.
Big D: “This is delish spaghetti and meatballs Mom!”
Me: ” It’s called Chicken Cacciatore.”
Big D: ” What a great name for REALLY GOOD spaghetti and meatballs.”
(NOTE: The second time I made this, I only had chicken breasts on hand and that also tasted great! The vegetarian Morningstar Chikin Strips worked great for vegetarian option)

Getting mine started… Browning my chicken, onion, garlic, and peppers first since my crockpot insert can be used stovetop! Also… substituting red wine for water! Can’t wait to walk through the door later and smell this!
Thanks!
Hi! I am definitely going to try this. Looks great! Just wondering what the nutrition facts are? Mostly how many calories per serving.
Can I use whole chicken breast for this recipe it has a bonenin it
Yes you can 🙂
Add some capers to this recipe to liven it up and bring some Italian heritage to it. 😉 You’ll thank me later.
Made this a couple of days ago…added red, orange and yellow peppers along with 3 small onions and we put it on a bed of rice…so very flavourful…will look to your page again soon for more crockpot recipes…thank you very much!
